Questions Questi ons #1 -6 of 42 Questions 1-6 relate to Goldensand Jewelry, Ltd. Introduction Rajesh Singh is the CFO of Goldensand Jewelry, Ltd, a London-based retailer of fine jewelry and watches. Singh has noticed that the price of gold has begun to increase. If economic activity continues to pick up, the price of gold is likely to accelerate its rate of increase as both the level of demand and inflation rates increase. Implications of Rising Gold Price Singh has become concerned about the cost implications for Goldensand if gold prices continue to rise. He has requested a meeting with Anita Biscayne, Goldensand's COO. In preparation for the meeting, Singh asked one of his staff, Yasunobu Hara, to prepare a regression analysis comparing the price of gold to the average cost of Goldensand's purchases of finished gold jewelry. Hara provides the regression results as shown in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 1: 1979-2009 Annual Data (31 Observations) Variab Var iable le

Regression Concerns Overall Concerns Singh's principal concern about the regression is whether the time period chosen is a good predictor of the current situation. He makes the following statement: Statement 1:
We may have a problem with parameter instability if the relationship between gold prices and jewelry jewe lry costs has changed over the past 30 years.
Singh also focuses on the value of the slope coefficient. He expected it to be 4.0 based on his experience in the industry. Hara computes the appropriate test statistic and reports the following: Statement 2:
We fail to reject the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is equal to 4.0 at the 5% level of significance.
Testing for Heteroskedasticity Biscayne remarks that the dramatic increase in the price level over the past 30 years leads her to suspect heteroskedasticity in the regression results. She suggests to Singh that they should conduct a Breusch-Pagan chisquare test for heteroskedasticity by calculating the following test statistic: n x R2 with k degrees of freedom where: n = number of observations R2 = R2 of the regression of jewelry prices on gold prices k = number of independent variables Model Misspecification Biscayne and Singh have various views on the potential for model misspecification and the effect of any such misspecification. • Biscayne worries that the regression model model is misspecified because it does not include a variable variable to measure the cost of the highly specialized labor used by manufacturing jewelers. She points out that the effect of omitting an important variable in a regression analysis is that the regression coefficients will be unbiased and inconsistent. • Singh adds that another another common common consequence consequence of misspecifying misspecifying a regression regression analysis is creating creating undesired undesired stationarity. Multiple Regression Hara conducts a series of regression analyses using all possible combinations of the suggested independent variables

The model appears to suffer from multicollinearity. Dropping one or more independent variables will increase the coefficient of determination.
Biscayne responds with the following statement: Statement 4:
An autocorrelation problem can be addressed by using the Hansen method to adjust the R2 R2..

Question #2 of 42
Question ID: 1074562
Are Singh (Statement 1) and and Hara (Statement 2) correct or incorrect regarding the usefulness of regression results described in Exhibit 1 and the value of the slope coefficient?
A) Both are correct. B) One is correct, the other is incorrect. C) Bo Both th are are incorre incorrect. ct. Explanation Singh is correct that a change in the relationship between gold prices and jewelry costs would be an example of parameter instability instability.. Hara is correct to fail to reject the null hypothesis that the value of the slope coefficient is equal to 4.0 at the 5% level of significance. The critical f-value for fo r the slope coefficient with 31 - 2 = 29 df at the 5% level for a two-tailed test is 2.045. The test statistic is (2.897 - 4.000)/0.615 = -1 -1.79 .79 . The absolute value (1.79) is less than 2.045, and the correct decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis that the slope coefficient is equal to 4.0.

B) No, because the wrong R2 is used. C) No No,, because the degrees degrees of freedo freedom m are equal equal to k and and n - k - 1. Explanation Biscayne is incorrect in the specification of the formula because the appropriate R2 to use in calculating a BreuschPagan chi-square statistic is not the R2of the regression of jewelry prices on gold prices but rather the R2of the regression of squared residuals from the original regression on the independent variable(s).

Question ID: 1074564
Regarding the comments on the potential consequences of misspecification in the simple linear regression, is Singh correct or incorrect regarding his comment on his concern over stationarity, and is Biscayne correct or incorrect about the effect of omitting an important variable?
A) Only Singh is incorrect. B) Only Biscayne is incorrect. C) Bo Both th are are incorre incorrect. ct. Explanation Singh is incorrect because a potential result of misspecifying a regression equation is nonstationarity (not stationarity, which is desirable). Biscayne is incorrect because the effect of omitting an important variable in a regression is that the regression coefficients are often biased (not unbiased) and/or inconsistent.

has asked Williams to analyze economic trends in the country of Bundovia. Bundovia has strict capital controls limiting the flow of capital into and out of the country. The currency of Bundovia is the bunco (BUN). One of Bundovia's major exports is high quality carpets. However, human rights activists have recently begun to complain about child labor practices among Bundovian carpet manufacturers, and this has resulted in negative publicity for the industry. Concerned about the impact on Bundovian exports, the Bundovian government banned child labor and provided oversight authority to the Bundovian carpet manufacturer's association. The Bundovian carpet manufacturer's association is an independent, membership-based organization. Most large carpet manufacturers in Bundovia are members. McDonald believes that the Bundovian economy is experiencing a hyper- inflationary environment and that the Bundovian government is poised to follow a restrictive monetary and fiscal policy to combat high inflation. In analyzing Bundovian economic performance, Williams notices that Bundovia has been able to grow rapidly in the past few years and has reached a steady state of growth. Compared to its trading partners, Bundovia has low capitalto-labor ratios; this situation is expected to continue. Williams is also permitted to trade in the forex markets when he sees an opportunity to make a profit. Williams' bank quotes the following exchange rates to him: • US USD/ D/GB GBP P = 2. 2.00 0010 10 -2 0 • US USD/ D/SF SFrr = 0. 0.85 8550 50 - 60 Williams asks the bank for a GBP/SFr cross rate.

30 days after initiation of the USD/GBP forward contract, the mark-to-market value of the contract is closest closest to to::
A) USD 860. 860. B) US USD D 1,1 1,195 95.. C) US USD D 2, 2,19 190. 0. Explanation The original 60-day forward contract calls for long GBP. So the all-in forward price FP = 2.0085. After 30 days, the contract would still have 30 days remaining to expiration. The new 30-day all-in forward price to sell GBP is 2.0086 + (7.6/10,000) = 2.00936.

Questions #13-18 of 42 Questions 13-18 relate to Valley Airlines. Jason Bennett is an analyst for fo r Valley Airlines (Valle (Valley), y), a U.S. firm. Valley Va lley owns a stake in Southwest Air A ir Cargo (Southwest), also a U.S. firm. The two firms have had a long-standing relationship. The relationship has become even closer because several of Valley's top executives hold seats on Southwest's Board of Directors. Valley acquired a 45% ownership stake in Southwest on December 31, 2017. Acquisition of the ownership stake cost $9 million and was paid in cash.

Under U.S. GAAP, the nonmonetary assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiary are not restated for inflation. Under IFRS, the subsidiary's financial statements are adjusted for inflation, and the net purchasing power gain or loss is recognized in the income statement. Then, the subsidiary is translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. If Mountain operates in a highly inflationary environment, the appropriate method is the temporal method. Under the temporal method, the functional currency is considered to be the parent's presentation currency. Thus, Mountain's functional currency is the U.S. dollar.

Explanation A decrease in the compensation growth rate will reduce service cost. Lower service cost will result in lower low er pension expense and, thus, higher net income. Lowering the compensation growth rate will also reduce the PBO. A lower PBO will increase the funded status of the plan (make the plan appear more funded). The compensation growth rate assumption has no effect on the plan assets. For Further Reference: (Study Session 5, Module 15.5, LOS 15.d)

A) Increase operating cash flow €750 and decrease financing cash flow €750. B) Decrease operating operating cash flow €2,084 and increase increase investing cash cash flow €2,084. C) Incre Increase ase operating operating cash flow €5,000 and decrease decrease financing financing cash flow €5,000. Explanation Totall periodic Tota peri odic pension cost represents the true cost of the pension. If the firm's contributions exceed its true pension expense, the difference can be viewed as a reduction in the overall pension obligation similar to an excess principal payment on a loan. Pension contributions are reported as operating activities in the cash flow statement while principal payments are reported as financing activities. Thus, the adjustment involves increasing operating cash flow by €750 (€5,000 employer contributions - €4,250 total periodic pension cost) and decreasing financing cash flow by the same amount.
